Python and python-pip must be installed from the package manager:

You will likely need to do this preliminary step which installs the rpmfusion-free repository unless you have some other 3rd-party repo installed which has the required packages. See rpmfusion.org for complete installation instructions, but only the rpmfusion-free repo is needed for acquiring kivy dependencies (though rpmfusion-nonfree is recommended by rpm fusion installation instructions) as shown in this step.

After you ensure that a 3rd-party repository containing any packages that dnf is otherwise unable to find, continue installing dependencies:

Notice: Wheezy is not supported — You’ll need to upgrade to Jessie at least!

Add the GPG key to your apt keyring by executing

sudo apt-key adv —keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com —recv-keys A863D2D6

apt-key adv —keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com —recv-keys A863D2D6

Refresh your package list and install python-kivy and/or python3-kivy and optionally the examples found in kivy-examples

Find out on which Ubuntu release your installation is based on, using this overview.
Continue as described for Ubuntu above, depending on which version your installation is based on.

Find out which version of the distribution you are running and use the table below to find out on which Ubuntu LTS it is based.

Bodhi 1: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS aka Lucid (No packages, just manual install)

Bodhi 2: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS aka Precise

Bodhi 3: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS aka Trusty

Bodhi 4: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS aka Xenial

To install kivy go to http://software.opensuse.org/package/python-Kivy and use the «1 Click Install» for your openSuse version. You might need to make the latest kivy version appear in the list by clicking on «Show unstable packages». We prefer to use packages by » devel:languages:python».
If you would like access to the examples, please select python-Kivy-examples in the upcoming installation wizard.

There is a kivy ebuild (kivy stable version)

available USE-flags are:

cairo: Standard flag, let kivy use cairo graphical libraries. camera: Install libraries needed to support camera. doc: Standard flag, will make you build the documentation locally. examples: Standard flag, will give you kivy examples programs. garden: Install garden tool to manage user maintained widgets. gstreamer: Standard flag, kivy will be able to use audio/video streaming libraries. spell: Standard flag, provide enchant to use spelling in kivy apps.

When you app starts, Kivy uses Mtdev to scan for available multi-touch devices to use for input. Access to these devices is typically restricted to users or groups with the appropriate permissions.

If you do not have access to these devices, Kivy will log an error or warning specifying these devices, normally something like:

In order to use these devices, you can add your user to a group that has the required permissions. For example, in Ubuntu, you can add the user to the ‘input’ group:

Note that you need to log out then back in again for these permissions to be applied.
